It's cool that they're giving away free shit and all, but I still don't see what the police did wrong in that bait truck situation. The bait was a closed, unmarked truck parked on the street. No shit you get arrested for helping yourself to the contents of that truck

The problem isn't that people are being arrested for stealing. They got what they had coming to them.

The problem is that the police are spending time and money doing shit like this when there's tons and tons of real crime they can be focusing on.

The article I read explained that this was related to a string of cargo thefts that had been occurring in that area. It was meant to target a specific type of real crime

Who broke into a random unmarked truck parked on the street

Actually, calling it random is a little unfair. The police set up a whole ruse to make it look as though the driver of the truck was arrested. So in reality the deaf man broke into an unmarked truck that he thought was a guaranteed easy hit

They are literally bating people from one of the poorest neighborhoods in Chicago maybe if Rahm invested money into poor communities Rather than closing schools to make luxury housing there would be less crime

close schools
militarize the city's police force
fail to curb the flow of guns into the city

No no no. It's all the poor people's fault

Except this was never about people stealing because they were hungry or didnt have shoes. People saw something nice that didnt belong to them, and they took it for themselves. Theyre pieces of shit and I wish the cops would put out more bait to catch people like that. They wanted to steal so that they could have something new and popular and have status.

Maybe, maybe not. In this particular situation there was a recurring crime that was identified, and it fell upon this police force to do something about it. Given that law enforcement doesn't have control over whether schools close or luxury housing gets built, they opted for a bust

Please explain how it was okay to steal shoes from a truck, then.

You cant. This topic is based on emotion rather than facts or logic.

It doesnt, no need to be offended. Its a nice gesture for sure but doesnt do much for the underlying problem; its like putting a band aid on a wound that needs stitches. Better than nothing, not as good as the definitive treatment. Not sure why were struggling to understand that

The irony is that he doesn't think it's racist to suggest black people are incapable of not robbing a semi-truck.
